Viral: Fever, body aches, sore throat, abdominal pain, diarrhea but bleeding is the kicker. If you have had contact with somebody with Ebola then definitely get checked out.

A typical sequence: Ebola has no symptoms until enough virus grows in the body to incite a fever which is the first symptom. In rapid sequence, there is then a severe headache, weakness, myalgias and weakness. Collapse then occurs with frequent bleeding in and under mucus linings and the GI tract. Coma and then death is the next event.
